Sarah Jarosz: Polaroid Lovers Tour

w/ Liv Greene

Sarah Jarosz’s seventh album, Polaroid Lovers, is a sonic and creative evolution for the Texas-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter. Collaborating for the first time with writers like Daniel Tashian, Ruston Kelly, and Natalie Hemby, as well as heavy-hitters like Jon Randall and Gordie Sampson, Jarosz has expanded her writing process and opened herself up to new sounds, resulting in a richer, more electric sound.

She’s also surrounded herself with an impressive roster of musicians, including guitarist Rob McNelley, Tom Bukovac, her husband-bassist Jeff Picker, and drummer Fred Eltringham, carving out a viscerally potent brand of folk-rock with her spirited performance on octave mandolin. Polaroid Lovers is a photo album of past loves, childhood dreams, the places she lived in, and all the versions of herself that she’s been, filled with the confidence that comes from hard-won life experiences and the conviction of someone who truly knows herself. Despite the album’s subject matter being a nod to the past, Jarosz has never sounded more assured or ready to keep pushing herself into new sonic territory.

Liv Greene is a queer Americana singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist, whose music “envelops a forlorn loneliness that’s at once poignant and crushing.” – American Songwriter. Inspired by the records spun in her childhood home in DC—brilliant women of song like Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Brandi Carlile, Lucinda Williams, and Ella Fitzgerald—Greene’s passion for storytelling started early. On her latest album, Greene has woven a record of deeply honest writing, sparse lyric-driven arrangements, and stunning live-to-tape performances.
